Starts with matching to a mentor in your field of study and seeing the possibilities.
Matching Streams
The Influence Mentoring program has created a flexible framework to help identify good candidates and place them within the appropriate mentor stream. This framework is also used to facilitate one-to-one matching of protégés and mentors. The framework uses questions such as education background and career aspirations to ensure a good match. At present a couple of streams, based broadly on different career-paths, have been identified. These streams have been chosen to show the vast opportunities available to Indigenous students in today’s job market. But no matter the chosen educational path, everyone has the opportunity to be
involved in the mentoring program.
